Love it.
The first data release I did excel couldn't open the CSV file, because it started with a capital I (first column ID). Excel looks at this, looks at this file with a comma in the header and text and the ending "csv" and says
I KNOW WHAT THIS IS
THIS IS A SYLK FILE
BECAUSE IT STARTS WITH "I"
NO OTHER POSSIBLE FILE COULD START WITH THE LETTER "I"
then reads some more and says
THIS SYLK FILE LOOKS WRONG
IT MUST BE BROKEN
ERROR
